Boyfriend's sweater
Feeling a bit manic these last few days, stress at work, stress at home. So I am lagging on blogging. But this is my attempt at picking myself up by my bootstraps. And, as a play on words, inspired by the $430 boyfriend cardigan that I lust after at work, here is my boyfriend's sweater as a boyfriend sweater.
Keeping with the purpose of the blog, Mother's accessories, my earrings were from a trip to Oaxaca that my mom and dad took in the '70's. I had already adopted them before thieving scoundrels absconded with most of Maman's jewelry.
Please follow... don't you want to? And many thanks to those who already do. I appreciate it. I have to figure out which blogger template looks like this "classic" one but still allows me to show which blogs I follow. I don't mean to discredit any mutual following! If anyone has HTML tips they feel like sharing, I will not say no to help.
Off to veg a bit. Thanks very much for stopping by! Bisous.
P.S. In the background is a Mexican creche that is also from Oaxaca. The colors and detail of the set make my Christmas that much brighter. I hope eventually to add a Provençale creche to my own collection.

Happy birthday to me...
With a pair of vintage Salvatore Ferragamo boots that I basically stole from a local consignment store:
My mom always said that Ferragamos were the only shoe that fit her feet and so when I stumbled upon these, I couldn't pass them up. She would approve.

Jens Lekman's "Farewell Song to Rocky Dennis."
The Clarks are pretty comfy, yet I am still trying to figure out ways to wear them! A preference: layered over skinny jeans or tights with higher socks.
This is one of my inspirations:
